HSE launches free stress management training for employers
The initiative supports HSE’s working minds campaign, which promotes good mental health and stress prevention in workplaces.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a free online training module to help employers manage work-related stress.
The module aims to guide employers through risk assessments, identifying root causes, and implementing practical solutions.
The initiative was launched to support HSE’s working minds campaign, which promotes good mental health and stress prevention in workplaces.
The module offers step-by-step advice, along with templates, tools, and resources to help businesses, especially small to medium organisations, meet their legal responsibilities.
Kayleigh Roberts from HSE’s engagement and policy division said: “Preventing work-related stress isn’t just the right thing to do for your workers – it’s also a legal requirement.
“Our new online learning module aims to make it easier for businesses, particularly small to medium organisations to understand their obligations and what they need to do on a practical level.
“This isn’t about ticking boxes. It’s about embedding good practices into everyday business operations.”
Roberts added: “By taking a proactive approach, employers can improve productivity, reduce sickness absence, and retain their valued workers.
